I love breakfast food. I could eat it for every meal. Sadly, when my grandmother passed away my dad wasn’t able to get her recipes. But, the one he remembers is one of my absolute favorites: Matzoh Brei. For those of you who don’t know this dish, it is scrambled egg with matzoh. My grandmother’s recipe is perfectly savory and slightly sweet with the sauteed sweet onion, garlic, butter, salt and pepper. Being such a die hard fan of this savory dish, it has always been hard for me to wrap my head around the idea of a sweet matzoh brei. Syrup or jam on my matzoh brei!? No thanks!
My boyfriend and I have often have the conversation as to which is better, and neither of us has conceded. I was having a craving, and decided to make it for breakfast. Rather than deal with a cranky breakfast partner, I made it both ways so we could both be happy and enjoy our matzoh brei of choice. It was a little extra work, but well worth our happy tummies. I’m sorry to report that I didn’t even try my sweet competition. The thought of syrup on my matzoh brei confused my stomach and head so much that I didn’t want to create any waves. I stuck to my savory and he stuck to his sweet. Maybe I’ll try the sweet version next time. Until then, I will be in my savory matzoh brei coma and be thinking about what to make for dinner.
